For the radeon driver at least, disabling KMS means that you won't get DRI2
in X11. That means slower performance and tearing. The non-KMS X driver is
pretty much considered deprecated.
Anecdote: On my laptop, which has a Radeon Mobility 9700 (uses RV350
or RV360), I got 30fps in Sauerbraten using the old non-KMS radeon
driver, and only 15fps using the new KMS driver. Enabling gallium on
latest mesa improves that to about 18fps, but causes my computer to
crash after a few minutes...
Sounds like a very outdated driver to me.
